I didn't see the season finale of FOX's House (I started watching the first season then stopped - I'll catch the rerun this summer), but everyone tells me it was really great. However, I'm wondering if everything that happened in the episode was completely understood by fans. Star-Ledger columinsts Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ask David Shore, who wrote and directed the episode, exactly what was real and what was a dream in the season finale. According to Shore, the only two scenes that were real were the beginning where House tries to treat a patient with a tongue problem and gets shot, and the very end where he gets taken to the emergency room and asks for that experimental drug. Everything else was a dream.
FOX is showing two episodes of House every Tuesday night during the summer.

People were confused by the finale? I thought it was pretty clear cut that the beginning and end were reality sandwiching the dream sequence.

Yeah I'm with Jonathan. I thought it wasn't confusing at all. Maybe those with a 9PM bedtime dozed off in the middle and got confused, or maybe they missed the beginning.

I understood it and loved it! It was a great cliff hanger for next season.

during the dream sequence (if you can call it that, which was the majority of the episode) House also figured out how to fix his bum leg.

6, really. It has a lot to do with the very real pain that Hugh Laurie has been experiencing as a result of using the cane whne he doesn't really have to. Cure - or at least eliminate the pain from - his leg and he doesn't have to use the cane anymore. Put in terms of the whole "House/Holmes" thing, the shooting was House's Reichenback Falls (when holmes came back after faking his own death he was "cured" of his cocaine addiction).

Brent Kckee,
I think grapefruits was being sarcastic. But yes, I did hear about Hugh Laurie having pain in his back as a result of using the cane... I really hope they don't get rid of the cane, it gives House so much more character. If he's not a cripple, then there's less reason to be bitter, and if he's still bitter, then I think his character would be less convincing. But we'll see, Hugh Laurie is certainly talented enough to get by...

HOUSE ROCKS !!! said...
I Love the show - it's (one of the very few) best shows on !!! If you watch enought tv & movies it shouldn't have been to hard to figure out the last show. I agree if Laurie looses the cane it might lessen the whole anger bit - I have faith, next season will be just as good as the last 2 can't wait till season 2 comes out on video. My only boo of the show, when Cameron got blood on her from the Aides patient... they never went back to it. Kind of like the Law & Order shows they keep what is not related to their Doctor (or Cop) personal lives out of the story lines.
Anyone know anything about Chase ???
